Sometimes we do the right thing in the wrong way. Many of you requested a square thumbs tool over the years. Unfortunately, we launched when it was a good bit less than perfect, and you were quick to call us on it. We should never have released ’square thumbs’ without providing an easy way [...]
Slideshow: Captions are back! Many of you wrote in to let us know they were missed. We’re really sorry for any inconvenience, it was always our intention to include them with the new show, but we needed to release and debug v1.0 first.

We thought we’d have to choose between speed, size and smoothness but after months of sweat we’re ready to call it awesome if you are. Click the slideshow button and [...]
We’ve made an important change to the way Customizer’s JavaScript is loaded and handled: we put it back the way it was. We further tweaked it with the addition of a JavaScript ‘footer box.’ Nothing ventured nothing gained, we simply figured out a better way to increase performance.

* Well, not really. But we do go to TEN now! The time cap for Pro account videos has been raised from 5 minutes to 10 minutes in DVD (640) quality. The 5 minute cap on HD remains in place, but you can upload HD up to ten minutes in length and we’ll convert it [...]
* We have inserted a Javascript variable for Power and Pro ‘customizers’ who want more control over how ‘Stretchy’ pages are rendered. They can now override settings, add or subtract height, by adding the following code to their customizations: SM.SmugMug.config.alterScreenHeight = -100. Any +/- numeric will alter the configuration.
